Interesting to compare different countries.

Helsinki, Finland here. Roughly 2100kWh/year. 2 people, a flat with 2 rooms + kitchen. We have district heating. Several laptops in the house, frequent home cooking, most lights are LED based, no sauna inside the apartment. We don't pay any attention to manually saving electricity, i.e. turning off lights etc. Our electric company provides a comparison report on their web site, according to it we are well below the average for similar household.



'no sauna inside the apartment'

Finnish problems


To give context: there are about 5,5 million Finns, and about 2-3 million saunas in the country.


Finland has 2.1 people per household so ~2.75 million households. Suggesting they are even more popular.


Suggesting there are also soon to be far less than 5.5 million Finns.


That is indeed a problem in Finland! :)
